Abstract:

The objective of the Bus Transit Monitoring Study is to develop a method for the design of comprehensive, statistically based data collection programs for the bus transit industry to support the short range planning process. The two voliomes of this manual document this method and provide transit operators with step-by-step procedures to develop their own individually-tailored programs. This volume. Volume 1, Data Collection Design , explains the various components of a comprehensive, route-level data collection program, beginning with the determination of data needs and finishing with interpretation of the data. Volume 2, Sample Size Tables , provides an extensive set of tables for determining sample sizes for systems and routes of varying size and operating characteristics. A two-stage approach is described with a baseline phase to produce detailed profiles for each bus route, and a monitoring phase to gather limited data on a periodic basis. The advantages and disadvantages of various data collection techniques are discussed. Both the desired' accuracy and the inherent variability of the data items are incorporated in the selection of a sampling plan. Allowance is made for the use of simple linear relationships between data items to reduce the overall cost of the data collection program where feasible. The recommended data collection program is shown to meet UMTA Section 15 reporting requirements for passenger related data.
